Solorio three-star quarterback Quincy Patterson (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) continues to draw accolades this offseason. Patterson, who took part in the Nike Football The Opening regional camp held at Halas Hall last Sunday, was named the camp's Most Valuable Player at the quarterback position. Patterson, who is already verbally committed to Virginia Tech, will also take part in the prestigious Elite 11 quarterback camp held at the Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon this summer. The camp features Nike's Top 11 junior quarterbacks from across the country.

"I would like to visit where coaches are most interested in me and where I feel welcome and somewhere I will fit in," Stewart told OrangeandBlueNews.com's Beth Long. “Some places will definitely be Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin."

Stewart also said that he's, "hoping to commit sometime near the end of the month."

Metea Valley offensive tackle Bryce Effner (6-foot-5, 275 pounds) has continued to draw increased recruiting attention and now has scholarship offers from Big Ten schools. Effner has recently added offers from both Penn State and Minnesota.

"(Recruiting) has been pretty exciting," Effner said. "It seems like more and more coaches are interested."

Effner was hoping to have wrapped up spring college visits but that could change.

"I was going to stop making visits in April and focus on school and training," Effner said. "That's still my plan but if things change most likely I'd go visit Iowa, Minnesota or Notre Dame."

Junior three-star ranked quarterback Quincy Patterson (6-foot-3, 220 pounds) was able to add his first SEC offer from Mississippi State.

"It's great to get an offer from an SEC school like Mississippi State," Patterson said. "It's the same school that Dak Prescott came from definitely gives it that extra edge for me. I started to follow them about three years ago and kind of liked them ever since."

Patterson, who also added an offer late last week from Syracuse, now has offers from Illinois, Indiana, Northwestern, Penn State, New Mexico, in addition to Syracuse and Mississippi State.

"I went to Notre Dame for the Michigan State game and I had a great visit," O'Rourke said. "The overall history at Notre Dame definitely stood out on my visit along with the traditions with football at Notre Dame. The Notre Dame coaches just keep telling me to stay in contact with them and we talk on a regular basis about the school."

O'Rourke has remained in regular contact with Notre Dame along with Penn State, Michigan State, Iowa and Syracuse this fall. He plans to visit Michigan State soon for a game. O'Rourke has scholarship offers from Illinois, Iowa State, Northwestern, Central Michigan and Wisconsin.

Senior three-star ranked defensive end Josh Maize (6-foot-4, 230 pounds) has been hitting the recruiting road hard over the past three weeks.

"I've been able to get out and visit Miami of Ohio, Purdue and Central Michigan the past three weekends," Maize said. "All three visits I made as unofficial visits. I haven't been able to see either Miami of Ohio or Purdue in person so it was good to get to see all three schools."

Maize, who has picked up recent interest from Syracuse, Penn State and Oklahoma, plans to make another unofficial visit to Toledo in two weeks.
